Need some input from you guys that have put on the Old Man Emu HD Leaf Springs (CS035RA) I put these in the other night along with Factory UpCountry Coil springs + a 1.25 inch coil spring spacer. So the front should be sitting at 2.25" the back is WAY higher, I'm wondering if these things are going to settle a lot or if I should think about putting the front higher....what kind of lift from these leaf packs have you guys ended up with?

They won't settle much unless you load that Jeep extremely heavy. Spoken from 6 years running those leafs, actually the medium load leafs. My pig of an XJ gave me only 4" after 6 years and a very heavy build. Sold them to a friend who is at 5+ inches on a much lighter Jeep (no armor, rails, rack etc).

I've got the cs34ra medium packs, and I remember being floored when I first installed them, I could actually fit my head between the stock flare and wheel in the wheel well lol.
They do settle, but im pretty sure my rear is still sitting at 3-3.5. Go load up some heavy stuff, find some washboards, and flex it out a few times, you should start the break in process!

I had the exact same reaction last night....I'm looking at the back which is probably sitting at like 3.5-4 and I'm thinking no way these are 2" lift springs...I can easily fit my head in there lol.
